I lived for those big haired boys with tattoos and I am fairly certain that each and every one of those singers loved me best. Especially Jon Bon Jovi, ‘cause he still loves me today and you don’t even need to pretend that he isn’t singing directly to me when I go to his concerts.
Anyhoo… what was I saying before I
Even though I wasn’t a big fan of most of these, all this 80’s talk got me remembering the one hit wonders and I need to know if any of you are still waiting for Kajagoogoo to come out with another song. Are you? DO you remember singing TOO SHY? Oh, I think you do.
Here are some songs from the 1980’s Parade of Horribles:
99 LUFT BALLOONS - Brings back memories of an embarrassing pom dance.
TWO OF HEARTS – What ever happened to Stacey Q?
LET THE MUSIC PLAY – Only Shannon never really played music, did she?
BOOM BOOM BOOM, LET’S GO BACK TO MY ROOM – I think we just liked singing these words; it wasn’t music at all.
WE DON’T HAVE TO TAKE OUR CLOTHES OFF - Oh, but we did, didn’t we? Time and again.
DA BUTT – There was no excuse for this ridiculous song!
DER KOMMISSAR – WTF?
ANGEL EYES – Kill me now.
And let’s not forget that Eddie Murphy once tried to sing – PARTY ALL THE TIME!
All righty then, this should just about do it. You must know at least one or two of these songs. If I have managed to plant at least one of them in your head for the rest of the day, my work here is done! :)

Thanks for the dance down memory lane this early in the morning. Very funny...BTW, I am a teacher and some of our styles are coming back. I tell the girls (and guys)we did that first, (*whispers)but you guys look better doing it. :)
For some reason I look at myself 20 years ago and ask myself, WTF? Did you really look in a mirror?
I'm going to admit this....I know in my crazy collection of CDs I have all of these songs...and wait, some are on my playlist for my iPod.
Don't hate me because I have guilty-pleasure musical taste...
I remember a Eurotrash song by an Italian chick called Sabrina. It was called 'Boys Boys Boys' and I saw the video and said 'Hello Hello Hello'.
Don't recall whether she could sing but she had a cracking pair of lungs.
Sigh......
Well I'm on the 99 Red Balloons. . . Fist one on the list, and it's already stuck in my head. . .
I know styles get repeated but God, don't let those songs come back!
Bloody balloon song - damn you! I only just managed to get it out of my head after hearing it on the radio yesterday! lol.
I need to ask a favour if you have time...can you pop over to my blog...I need some advice from the blogsophere quick sharp! Thank you!
LISA I think our mirrors were a bit off.
LMB Me too!
MATTHEW ARGH! I remember that song!
LIZ Heh!
JANE Will the 80's ever be forgiven?
TONI Be there in a bit.
Your evil knows no limits.
I had to have a little YouTube smackdown with my daughter. She refused to believe that the background music on Drake's Juice was an 80s song until I showed her Suzanne Vega singing Tom's Diner. I would like to say she was humbled, but no.
Hilarious!! So, True and yes I remember
Kajagoogoo LOL.. back then being so young I thought that was cool how he would kneel down to sing..LOL yep where do you think square pegs the show came from>> ME
You know you loved Bananarama and the Bangles too
flock of Seagulls "I Ran", if that wasn't their one hit wonder, it should have been.
I know it wasn't exactly during the 80's, but I love Right Said Fred and I'm Too Sexy!
Wow, how old am I? None of these songs rang a bell with me.
In the 80's the songs in my house mostly came from Sesame Street and Mr Rogers.
OMG! Let the music play, That was THE song to to skate to and get the attention of the guys playing pool. I have it downloaded on my iPod, my five year old thinks its "cool".
That Party All The Time song was just horrible... Unfortunately that will be the song I have in my head for the rest of the day!
OMFG! Kajagoogoo. I hearted them. She was to shy, to shy...hush hush eye to eye toooooooo
wtf is that?
that song is dumb.
Thanks a lot blognut!
"DA BUTT – There was no excuse for this ridiculous song!"
It gives all dudes free rang to grab a woman's butt. I'd say that's reason enough.
Hahahaha....
I'll still take any of those songs over most of the 90's noise.
It was like an apocolypse when the songs of the 90's started to break through and drown out the tunes of the 80's. Seriously, I just quit listening to the radio!
I played my CASSETTE TAPES in my car to keep from hurting my ears on that new stuff!
The 80's rocked! Hold on, I'll be back, gotta go get my hair punked out
It gave me great joy to hear Eddie Murphy attempt to sing. Remember when Bruce Willis gave it a go?
OMG, we DO share a brain. JBJ is my all-time favorite! And I admit that to few people ('cause they laugh at me, that's why). Right alongside him is Joe Eliot... Love Bites... yeah, I used to want to bite him. Yum.
The only thing I remember about the 80s is "We are the Champions" and "Heaven by Brian Adams! haha! Sad? Huh? Do you still love me?
Ummmm. I will admit Jon Bon Jovi was staring at you. You are right!!!!
You forgot Safety Dance!
Okay, I know EVERY song on the list. That does NOT mean I'm old.
And I'm sorry... but the Bon Jovi songs were being sung to me. Hmmm... I guess it could be both of us, as long as we weren't at the same concerts.
One thing, though? JBJ has totally aged out of some of his songs, because he CANNOT hit certain notes anymore. Talk about a disappointment, especially after paying $80 for a ticket.
The scariest part is seeing the fashions come back though. I've heard the rule is that if you were old enough to wear it the first time around, you're too old to wear it when it comes back. Does that mean stretch pants and leg warmers are out for us???
"SOMETIMES" you like to be annoying???
You KNOW I AM KIDDING!!!!
I loved 99 balloons. This takes me back to the excitement of MTV. My bfr at the time was a bartender. After a night of getting drunk for free, it was "whose house for the party?" and then, "but do you have MTV?"
Ah, back when MTV was greatness of life. I miss that.
Unbelievable. All this time I thought Bon Jovi was singing to me. The disapointment is unbearable.
I will never forget: my middle school boyfriend and I were at a pool party and that song "WE DON’T HAVE TO TAKE OUR CLOTHES OFF" came on the boom box and he said, "Yes we do" and I thought, holy shit, he is sooo gonna try to kiss me.
He broke up with me 2 days later.
This is hysterical.
Romeo Void anyone?
My husband and I still laugh about that one.
hey there! I left something for you at my place. Feel free to stop by and pick it up.
I love the '80s. I get the free '80s preview channel on my satellite radio. This is all that I really would want!!! I plan to stick to the free channels - '70s, '80s, 90's... Nice!!
99 Luft Balloons! Oh, that took me right back to the college dining hall I worked at all through school! Strange, but all 80's songs bring back memories of my friends and I dancing around the deep fryers or in the dishroom with our ugly uniforms (striped pinafores, people!) and our hairnets on, singing strange versions of the words. Like a music video, only way weirder...
